UK Horse Racing Tips: Thurles

Max Dynamite has generally been campaigned on the Flat in recent years and, rated 105 in that sphere, he'd have an obvious chance if transferring his ability over fences on his chase bow. Of more interest, however, is LORD SCHNITZEL, who already has two solid chase runs in the bag this term and is unexposed over 3m and beyond. Captain Cj, third and behind the selection over 2m5f at Fairyhouse latest, is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Lord Schnitzel 2nd Max Dynamite 3rd null

YOUNG DEV sauntered home by 15 lengths over 2m5f at Limerick last month and is expected to remain competitive now switching back over fences off only 1lb higher. The selection is a distance winner over hurdles so this step back up in trip is unlikely to faze him. Ballybrowney Jack offered more when third at Downpatrick in September and has viable place claims, as does Thatbeatsbanagher, who sports first-time blinkers.
Prediction : 1st Young Dev 2nd Ballybrowney Jack 3rd null

GLAMORGAN DUKE ran well in two beginners chases before landing the silver medal in a Grade 3 novice hurdle at Navan last month. A mark of 125 appears workable on his handicap debut now moving back over the larger obstacles so he gets a tentative vote ahead of the consistent Charlie Stout, who steps back up in trip after picking up the bronze medal over 2m at Fairyhouse last time, and Effernock Lad, who makes some appeal on his 2m1f victory at Sligo in September.
Prediction : 1st Glamorgan Duke 2nd Charlie Stout 3rd null

135-rated Gavin Cromwell representative JEREMYS FLAME lost little in defeat when beaten by under two lengths into second in Listed company in a mares' novices' hurdle at Newbury last time and should go close if running to a similar level of form. Rebel Og landed a C&D maiden hurdle in impressive fashion latest and is respected now up in grade, though her stablemate Drury, an emphatic maiden hurdle scorer at Punchestown last month, is the pick of Paul Townend.
Prediction : 1st Jeremys Flame 2nd Drury 3rd null

DE MAZZARO was giving a solid account when falling at the last in the Greatwood at Cheltenham and the five-year-old makes plenty of appeal as he is able to race off a 7lb lower mark on his return to Ireland. Scheu Time won in good fashion at Cork on his latest outing and he is likely to be in the mix along with R'evelyn Pleasure, who is fairly treated on his chase mark.
Prediction : 1st De Mazzaro 2nd Scheu Time 3rd null

SILVER SHEEN produced a career best over C&D when appearing to relish the step up in trip on his latest outing and despite a 11lb swing in the weights with Royal Thief, who finished third on that occasion, he is expected to land the hat-trick. The latter is capable of stepping forward from that recent effort, while a line can be put through Kalanisi Og's last run at Fairyhouse.
Prediction : 1st Silver Sheen 2nd Royal Thief 3rd null

GENERAL COUNSEL showed a fair amount of promise when second on his bumper debut at Cork in April and the six-year-old boasts strong credentials despite the drop back to the minimum distance. Battle Of Actium is capable of stepping forward from his first outing for Joseph O'Brien when down the field at Punchestown last month, while others to note include Stowaway John and Getabay.
Prediction : 1st General Counsel 2nd Battle Of Actium 3rd null
